Interlibrary Loan of the day



Once again, thanks to Groovelily for assistance with today's ILL. This has got to be the biggest damn book I've ever seen come through ILL. The title is "Little Nemo In Slumberland - So Many Spendid Sundays!" and it seems to be a compilation of comic strips from 1905-1908. If anybody out there has the courage to admit to being old enough to remember Little Nemo, please leave a comment.

Dear Joseph,

I have a few concerns about the content of this blog. First, the Bit O Honey pool was just too hard to read. I had to squint to find the "delicious" button. Second, I'm concerned about the cheesecake photos of Groovelily (the ones with the ILL's) - too provocative. Third, there are swear words in this blog. Swear words are NOT legal in Scrabble and they are NOT good for family-oriented blogs. I'm sure there's a fourth complaint but I can't type any more because we have run out of Mr. Goodbars and I'm feeling weak.

This photo was taken without my knowledge and i demand a full investigation. How many strikes does this origami folder have??

And a P.S. to p.symons... where's your blog???

1. I can't figure out how to change the font color on the poll. Maybe when you've finished your blog, you can provide me with some tips.

2. I've provided an alternate photo for anyone who might have their sensibilities offended.

3. Swear words are legal in Scrabble, and this is not a family oriented blog.

4. I'll see what I can do.

I bought a large-format paperback 20-some years ago to introduce my 5 year old son to the wonderful world of Nemo. McKay's influence is still felt in the graphic novel field (Jimmy Corrigan, etc.) And no, I wasn't around for Nemo's run in the Sunday comics pages!

Alright, while David didn't have the courage to admit to being 100 plus years old, he did admit to being 20 plus years old, so he wins a piece of candy of his choice the next time he wanders by my desk.

Joe, I have a complaint about your blog. It's too damn witty and entertaining! (Yes, p.symons, I said damn -- and I don't play Scrabble). Anyway, getting back to my complaint. How can other blogs possibly compete with your humorous blog entries and equally amusing comments posted by readers? Yes, I know it's not a competition, but your cleverness gives me feelings of inadequacy and loss of self-esteem (is it time for my medication?) I hope you're satisfied. Stop it!! (P.S. Have a nice day).

Ah flattery, the bane of humility. I'm afraid there is no off switch on my enormous wit, but have a piece of candy and maybe you'll feel better.
